A Community of Resilience
Why it's important
Why it's important
Children's mental health is a crucial public health issue, affecting millions of young lives every year.
Ages 2-8
Ages 6-17
Tragically, suicide is a leading cause of death among children and adolescents. Suicide rates among young people have been increasing (Source: CDC). In 2019, suicide was the second leading cause of death for individuals aged 10-24 years old in the United States (Source: CDC, 2022). Exposure to trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or violence, can have lasting effects on a child's mental health. Studies indicate that childhood trauma increases the risk of developing mental health disorders later in life, underscoring the importance of early intervention and support (Source: NIMH, 2022).
The prevalence of mental health issues in children cannot be overlooked as it affects their ability to succeed in school, form healthy relationships, and enjoy a fulfilling childhood.

Partnering for a Greater Impact
“Before partnering with Counseling4Kids, I didn't fully grasp the power of collaboration with a non-profit organization. Working together has been eye-opening and incredibly rewarding. I've learned how to leverage our combined resources to make a tangible difference in our community. This partnership has enhanced our understanding and provided us with new strategies to support those in need. The shared vision and expertise have been instrumental in expanding our impact, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such meaningful work alongside a dedicated team.”
Raising Awareness, Making a Difference
“Before getting involved with Counseling4Kids, I didn’t realize how crucial community awareness was in supporting mental health. The community outreach initiatives have opened my eyes to the importance of reducing stigma and fostering understanding. I’ve learned how to engage in meaningful conversations and share valuable information with others. This newfound awareness has empowered me to advocate for mental health in our community, creating a more supportive environment for all. The guidance and resources provided have been instrumental in helping me make a positive impact.”
Empowering Parenting
“Before connecting with Counseling4kids, I had little understanding of trauma and how it affected my child. The parent workshops offered have been truly transformative for my family. I have gained confidence as a parent, learning new strategies to support my child. These workshops have inspired me to model positive behavior and create a safe, nurturing environment by removing potential triggers. The support and education provided by you have been invaluable, helping me to be the best role model for my child.”
